Chapter 258 - Difficult Position

A day later, Fu Meixu learns about Fu Hua's trip and comes to visit.

Jia Li was happy to have her since she needed some company apart from the one she was getting from her pets.

Because Fu Meixu was especially scared of Ocean, so Jia Li asked Ocean to sit some distance away from her and she reminded her to be obedient and not to scare her guest.

Ocean licked her tongue and turned away to walk to the position Jia Li had pointed. She laid there and fixed her gaze on the puppies Jia Li had in her hands.

Fu Meixu was able to breathe a sigh of relief now that Ocean was far from her. She smiled and placed the cute puppies in her arms.

"They are so cute, what are their names?" Fu Meixu asked as she touched one of them.

Jia Li was more than happy to introduce the puppies to Meixu.. She treated them like her babies and wouldn't let go of them if she wasn't reminded to.

"Can I hold them?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile. She liked the puppies very much and the reason she wasn't afraid of them, it's because they are still little and harmless.

"Sure..." Jia Li said as she handed the puppies to her.

Fu Meixu carried them on her laps and continued to rub their young bodies gently while Ocean looked on with a sharp glint. She was about to bark when Jia Li hushed her in time.

"Do you have intentions of selling them?" Fu Meixu asked and right after that, Ocean barked at her.

'Don't think about seeing my kids!'

Jia Li calmed Ocean with a few words before turning to Fu Meixu to say, "I'm not selling them, they are my baby's playmate."

"Alright, I get it." Fu Meixu said and chuckled softly.

Fu Meixu spent some time with Jia Li before leaving.

Two days later, something happened. The servants that were working for Jia Lia and Fu Hua were called back to the Fu family.

According to the call the housekeeper received, it was the time for their yearly training, so they were asked to come back.

The housekeeper laid out her suspicion about the call to Jia Li.

"It's not reasonable to ask us to come back for the training when you are pregnant and there is no one to cater to your needs."

"So what do you think?" Jia Li asked with a smile.

"I think someone is trying to play some games." The housekeeper suggested.

Jia Li was quiet for a while before speaking up, "Then let the person play the game."

The housekeeper glanced at Jia Li before lowering her voice to whisper, "Ma'am do you mean we should test the person?"

"Since someone dares to go against Grandfather by putting me in a difficult position, why don't we let the person get some rewards from it?" Jia Li suggested.

She couldn't guess who wanted to cause trouble for her but she has decided to teach the person a little lesson. She was curious as to what will transpire.

This was the first time she would be standing up for herself and she hopes it all goes well even though she knew someone will not be happy with her.

"But Ma'am, you will suffer if no one is here to serve you. How will you get your bath ready, eat and dress the bed?" The housekeeper asked worriedly.

"If not for all of you spoiling me too much, you wouldn't be so worried. Just make enough food for my baby and me, I can take care of the rest." Jia Li said with a smile.

She was already so happy with her plans. It was the first time launching an attack and she was already excited while waiting for the outcome.

The housekeeper thought that her Mistress had changed. She didn't understand what Jia Li was playing at and she was very worried about her. If anything happens to her, all of them will pay for it with their lives.

Just as Jia Li instructed, the housekeeper and the other servants made a lot of preparations before leaving in the van that was sent for them.

Immediately after they left, Jia Li engaged in a video call with her three friends. They talked happily about a lot of things.

Chang-Chang was going to audition to join a girl idol group a week later, so they were chatting about it before they started dragging who was going to be the godmother of Jia Li's baby.

Jia Li settled the matter by telling them they all could be the godmothers to her baby but they had to prepare a red packet and wait for the delivery date to claim the rights.

After having a fun time with her friends, Jia Li went to the kitchen to pick some fruits for herself before going to the workshop to work on some new designs. She seemed unbothered as she was the only one at home.

It was in the afternoon when the housekeeper and the other servants left, so right now, it was already late in the evening.

Jia Li was working on a new design when Fu Hua requested a video call. She accepted it and continued being busy with her sketches.

"What are you doing?" Fu Hua asked with a frown. Jia Li answered the call and abandoned the tablet, so he was a little annoyed and at the same time curious about what she was doing.

Jia Li took a moment of break and placed her tablet in the right position, so they would be about to see each other.

"I'm working on a new sketch. Don't disturb me, I've got to be busy now." Jia Li said to him before moving her focus back to her sketchbook.

Fu Hua was speechless. This was the first time he was calling since today and he was worried she was annoyed with him and missed him so much, so he decide to call. But what's with this attitude he was getting?

As instructed by his wife, Fu Hua didn't disturb her and instead, he watched her quietly till she finished sketching.

'Could she be a work maniac like me?' Fu Hua thought. He saw the way Jia Li was so engrossed with her work that she forgot about his existence.
